    I woke up in Portugal Monday. Tomorrow, Monday, I’ll wake up in Spain.

        Yes and no. Premium economy I pay for, which might be 5k for the two of us. Business I’ll pay for in the US. But I’m not paying 15k for me and my boy to fly to Europe.

          That's the problem with airlines--go anywhere interesting and it's $$$$ and get and upgrade and it's $$$$. Fly economy to Milwaukee $62.95.

            But honestly im fine with premium economy. I just need the extra legroom since im tall. The boy too. I don’t need a four course meal and a lay flat seat. I mean fine when Credit Suisse was paying but really for me give me two glasses of wine and let me sleep in a seat that accommodates my height.

                      About 10 days from now I will be hitting the city of Alghero in the north west part of the island. A lot of history in this town. The remnants of a Spanish culture where in fact some still speak Catalan there. The city looks like Spain and is often referred to as Little Barcelona.

                          https://www.timeout.com/news/the-spanish-city-named-europes-health-and-wellness-capital-

                          So many factors affect our health and wellbeing in cities, from air quality and pollution to walkability and the fitness venues on offer. Handily, travel booking platform Omio has just looked into 17 different criteria to rank Europe’s top cities for wellness.

                          The factors included pollution levels, the quality of green spaces, the number of spas, gyms and fitness centres, quietness and sunshine. The crowning city, which had an overall score of 78.62 out of 100, was Madrid!

                            There's a traditional warning about Madrid's continental weather:

                            Seis meses de infierno y seis de invierno

                              I left on Monday the 21st and it was cold and rainy.

                              The following Monday when the power went out it was 81/27
